New Jersey Lacrosse Goalie Commits To Brown

Imagine realizing your dream of playing college athletics and committing as a junior. Very cool.

In addition, the school you commit to is a member of the Ivy League. Extremely cool.

Meet Caitlin Barrett, a 2017 National Scouting Report lacrosse prospect from East Windsor, N.J. She attends the prestigious Peddie School in Hightstown, N.J.

Caitlin has committed to Brown University in Providence, R.I., ranked by U.S. News and World Report as the 14th best college in the United States.

Caitlin’s 3.8 GPA and 32 ACT score certainly helped. But NSR scout Brendan Kennedy says her athletic ability helped, too. Selected Goalie of the Year by the Trentonian, Caitlin is a highly intelligent, fearless player with very quick hands and feet, Kennedy wrote in his NSR scouting report. In other words, she’s a perfect fit for Brown.

Caitlin, who expects to pursue a degree in Genetics, looks forward to the challenge.

“My primary objective for college is to be an outstanding student-athlete,” Caitlin wrote in her personal message to college coaches. “I have a responsibility to myself, my family and my team to maintain my grades and to continue trying to improve and be the best person in life as well as player on the field I can be.

“The main things that make me stand out from others are: I finish everything I start; I am determined to make all my work the best possible quality; I am strong-willed and stick to my opinions, but can also see the other side of things; and I can push through tough situations with a positive outlook.”
